I shall certainly do a search Ken, as my VAIL server is no longer backing any of my 4 PC's up, in fact it is now totally useless, there does not seem to be an option in the normal Dashboard to erase all the backup database and start again, I feel the other
two (recovery) discs coming out for an airing.
Ooooh look what you find if you RTF(Known Issues) above !!! d'oh
